Cambodia News, (Kampong Speu Province): According to the Facebook account of Udong Me Chey Municipality, following a publication by local press outlets, the owner of the chicken farm was summoned before municipal and sangkat officials to solve the problem of the stench caused by the poultry waste.
The property in question is a large-scale egg producer, located In Trapeang Chhouk village, Preah Sre commune, Oudong Mey Chey city, Kampong Speu province,which has reportedly produced a terrible smell in the whole area for many years now. The strong smell of ammonia from the factory farm waste particularly affects the inhabitants of the nearby pagoda and school: monks, students, teachers, and worshippers.
After the meeting between the officials and the two parties, the representative of the owner of the chicken farm made a contract promising that:
1. There will be no more bad smells to affect the people living around the factory.
2- No more trucks transporting chicken droppings through the middle of the village, which will instead drive around the village to avoid causing odors to the households.
Citizens, students, monks and all Buddhists would like to thank the relevant municipal, sangkat and village authorities for taking care of this problem. They hope that this problem will not continue to occur as it is a recurring theme which has been a problem for many years, and the community continue to hope that the authorities will eventually decide to close the farm, which is situated close to Trapeang Chhouk village and the pagoda.
